South Coast AQMD hosted the 2nd Annual AB 617
All Community Steering Committee (CSC) Event on
Saturday, October 25, 2025, bringing together CSC
members from all six AB 617 communities for a day of
collaboration and learning. The event created an energizing
space for community members to connect, share insights, and
discuss how current issues are shaping local air quality.
The program featured panel discussions, a film screening,
a keynote message, and a resource fair with exhibits
highlighting community air monitoring, emission-reduction
projects, grant and incentive opportunities, and updates on
AB 617 funding and legislative efforts.
AB 617 is a community-based program that brings together
residents, local businesses, health and environmental
organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders
to form Community Steering Committees (CSCs). These
CSCs work together to develop and implement plans to help
reduce air pollution in communities. These plans are known
as Community Emission Reduction Plans (CERPs) and
Community Air Monitoring Plans (CAMPs). CERPs focus
on community-identified air quality priorities while CAMPs
provide localized strategies for air quality monitoring.
All six communities within South Coast AQMD’s jurisdiction
are currently in the implementation phase of their CERPs and
CAMPs.
South Coast AQMD continues to hold quarterly meetings
with CSC, and co-lead organizations, and other interested
parties to provide updates on the progress of CERP and
CAMP implementation. For more information on the AB 617
Program or meeting schedules, visit www.aqmd.gov/ab617.
